30. Good for him, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much

He will do well in other states, Hillary loosks pretty strong in Michigan. I don't know enough about the state to know why. I would love to be wrong but I think she'll win by quite a bit.

Anyway great that Bernie is taking the fight to Michigan in a big way.

We focus too much on winning and losing states. That's relevant in winner-take-all situations, but in proportionately allocated primaries it's just about how many delegates one candidate gets verses another, and about bragging rights that you "won" a state's primary. Overblown. Hopefully the margin in Michigan isn't too bad for Bernie.
